Shelby Sister- Believe

Requested by @PJEarthling enjoy!
Trigger warning- abuse

The youngest Shelby, YN, is the quietest out of all her siblings. She's also only 7 years old and the clingiest to Tommy. So when Tommy got a girlfriend, Grace YN wasn't happy at first. But Grace was nice to her and so YN soon started to warm up to the woman.
However once the Shelby's felt like they could leave YN alone with Grace YN soon learn that Grace wasn't as nice as she seemed. YN tried to tell her brothers and Aunt, no one believed her, thinking she was just being jealous again.

Today YN is in the house with Grace while the rest of her family are out on business
"YN!" Grace calls from downstairs. Nervously YN leaves the safety of her bedroom and makes her way to Grace who's in the living area of the house. Grace faces YN, looking at her with a stern face "what on gods earth is this" Grace points at some dirt on the floor
"Erm"
"For goodness sake YN. Clean it up"
"But I haven't...."
"I don't care if you've been out or not. Clean it up. Now!" Grace shouts making YN jump. Quickly YN gets the things she needs to sweep up the dirt on the floor. Once YN has finished sweeping the floor Grace manages to find other jobs for the young girl to do, and if she finds that YN hasn't done a good enough job Grace will reward her with a slap on her body, or a pull of her hair. This wasn't new to YN, but she gave up speaking to her brothers about this. According them 'Grace wouldn't harm a fly'. Bullshit

Later that evening YN is getting ready for bed, the rest of her family are now back home and chatting away in the living room. There's a knock on her door. Praying it's not Grace she asks who it is
"It's Polly. Can I come in love?"
"Yeah" the door creaks open. Her aunt looks at YN disappointed "what?"
"You know what"
"No I really don't"
"Grace said that,.." YN sighs and rolls her eyes sitting on the edge of her bed "this is the problem. Your attitude. Grace said she simply asked you to clean up the mud you brought in from outside and you gave her lip"
"What! I didn't. Aunt Polly she...." knowing that there's no point in trying to convince her aunt YN gives up "forget it" defeated YN turns away from her aunt
"I have no idea what's going on with you recently but it has to stop. I understand that you find it hard that Tommy doesn't give you as much attention but your getting older. You can't be relying on your brother all the time"
"Fine whatever" sighing Polly leaves YN to it and heads back downstairs.

For the next few days YN stays quiet around her family. Grace tells them that she's probably starting to have hormones, but she knew the truth. Once again YN was left alone with Grace and again she would be subjected to the abuse of her brother's girlfriend
"Your not going anywhere until all of this mess is tidied up"
"But...."
"But nothing. Get to it or else"
"Or else you'll hit me again" YN mutters
"What was that?"
"Nothing"
"Don't give me attitude" Grace pulls YNs hair back towards her. Little did she know that Polly and Arthur had just walked in
"Grace I..."
"Shut up" Grace pushes YN down on to the floor making her whimper
"What the bloody hell do you think your doing?" Polly's voice booms through the house
"Get the fuck away from my sister" Arthur shouts then storms towards Grace pushing her out of the way to kneel down next to YN
"She was being a brat"
"Get out of this house"
"You can't kick me out. Tommy wouldn't allow it" Grace crosses her arms acting way to confident
"You clearly don't know Tommy then. He'd do anything to keep his sister safe"
"Arthur take YN upstairs and make sure she's ok. We're gonna wait for Tommy"

When Tommy arrives home, his aunt tells him how YN was telling the truth the whole time and he ended up leaving Grace and telling her to leave Small Heath immediately.
YNs family are extremely apologetic and promise that in the future they will believe her.
Soon after Tommy gets into a relationship with Lizzie who YN prefers so much more, and Lizzie is nothing like Grace.
